Chapter 10: The Queen's Secret
After asking about Zeta, Su Ling turned to Sana for information about Queen Menes.
The girl gritted her teeth lightly, trying to recall the days when she entered the palace to serve the queen, and her delicate face inadvertently showed a touch of crimson, which was very tempting:
"Her Majesty...... I like mandala flowers, she is shrewd and intelligent, since I served her, I have always felt that she has seen me through, by her side, there is a feeling of fear, but if you trust her, you can completely put your mind at ease...... In short, it's complicated. β
She let out a soft breath and patted the plump and bumpy figure on her chest.
Mino's eyes were about to look straight, which made Sana very embarrassed, so she hid behind Su Ling and pleaded, "My lord, I have some nervous ......"
Su Ling gave the kid a look and motioned him to get out, and the latter could only leave his house in despair, watching the goddess in his mind share a room with other men.
Young Master Zi Naluo leaned in front of the door and lit a cigarette, and scolded fiercely: "Mino, you are just a guy who is obsessed with lust, how can you have any true feelings, quickly forget her!" β
Su Ling and the others naturally didn't care about his loss, and Suona continued to tell what she had seen and heard when she lived with the queen.
"Her Majesty believes in wisdom and power and power, and she told me that the men of this country are not as useful as women."
Speaking of this topic, Sana was a little embarrassed: "Her Majesty is not actually resistant to the matter of a spouse, she thinks that giving birth to a child with both wisdom and strength with a strong man can better consolidate her rule, but there are few men who can get her approval ......"
After speaking, this flower-like little dancing girl glanced at Su Ling cautiously, and the meaning was self-evident.
You're so strong, you're sure to capture the Queen's heart!
Su Ling knew that she had misunderstood, thinking that she had come to Zeta to pick up girls, and the girls she soaked were still Her Majesty the Queen, who was loved by the people, so she could only sneak in quietly.
He didn't debunk this romantic misunderstanding, after all, this matter is getting darker and darker, if it wasn't interesting to the queen, why do you know so much about her private life?
Unless it's to assassinate, but this doesn't match his behavior, if it's a killer, just force people to tell the news and then kill them all, is it okay to be a good man and a girl, to satisfy her wishes?
Su Ling motioned for Suona to continue.
The girl put away her careful thoughts, hid the loss in the corners of her eyes deeply, and said:
"Her Majesty will go to the holy spring every month for baptism, at the end of the month she will go to the temple to watch the ceremony, and every six months, she will go to the sarin north of the royal city to admire the sea of mandala flowers......"
Su Ling kept Menes' preferences, deeds, and temperament in mind one by one, and made a general summary of her:
A see-fed careerist, with an extreme cult of blood and power, and contempt for all the weak.
To deal with such a woman, I don't think I'll be able to do it with a guy with no ambitions, and I'll have to replace it with a mustachioed unsuccessful art student, who is a ruthless man who built a dictatorial empire and painted the world map with blood.
In the end, though, Sona mentions a very strange phenomenon.
She said:
"Her Majesty, she has a rather eccentric temperament...... Sometimes, he will be as innocent, fierce and mischievous as a child, and sometimes he will be like an iron-blooded and wise monarch, which is intimidating. β
Su Ling frowned, how could a person like Menes be related to the word "innocent"?
You said that "childlike innocence" I believe it, Nima is "innocent", girl, do you know what this means?
Her Royal Highness the Queen, cut from head to toe, if I can find a little white, even if I lose, how can I be innocent!
If it weren't for the fact that Sana had served the queen, Su Ling would have thought it was nonsense.
But there is no possibility that the girl will lie to him, how can this be explained?
Sometimes naΓ―ve, sometimes cold-blooded, schizophrenic? Multiple personalities?
As a psychiatrist, the first thing that comes to his mind is mental illness.
"Click-"
At that moment, something hit the window.
Su Ling was taken aback, Mino's sand castle was more than ten meters high, who could knock on the window at this height?
Someone has been hanging out of the window, listening to everything inside!
Su Ling didn't have time to explain, and instantly used teleportation to come to the window.
The windows have been silently opened a little crack, revealing the Gobi outside, and below is the scene of this desert border town.
A slender shadow had vanished at the edge of the desert horizon.
In a short period of time, it was possible to move so far......
Su Ling watched the shadow disappearing into the wind and sand thousands of miles away, and his heart was cold.
Who sent the master to spy on him?
This kind of concealment and speed, even as an S-class hunter, I can't detect it, it can only show that the other party is an S-level master who is proficient in this way, and if such a person becomes an assassin, I am afraid that his life will be in danger.
Mino's apparently commanding can't move, Queen?
This seems to be the most reasonable explanation, and the other party also heard that he inquired about the queen's news, so he broke the gong and was recognized, but why did Menes do this?
Twists and turns, isn't it good to invite yourself directly to meet in private, and play surveillance, what is the idea of this desert queen.
Su Ling couldn't think of a reason for a while, and sat back in his chair to face Sana in annoyance.
The little dancer looked at the open window with some uneasiness: "My lord, could it be that we are talking about Her Majesty the Queen, and the Praetorian Guards heard it......"
Her words were full of fear, after all, to the Zeta people, the queen is sacrosanct, and now she wants to divulge the queen's privacy for her own selfish desires.
But, again, she would do it, trading the Queen's secret for a chance to leave this desert cage.
Who would want to betray their country if they were not already disappointed?
Su Ling saw her embarrassment and comforted: "It has nothing to do with you, the other party is coming for me, and you don't have to follow me on the road after that." β
He shouted to the gate, "Mino, you are responsible for arranging for her to be sent to the Eternal Sun, if there is any accident on the way, worry about your head, and prepare a large sum of money for her to ensure that she has a comfortable life in this life." β
Mino's natural fart rolled in to offer his courtesy: "My goddess, don't worry, these are all wrapped up in me!" β
Su Ling turned his head to look at the girl in front of him: "Don't worry, the people there are still very personable, you will have a legal and decent identity, you can go to the banquet to dance openly, maybe in the palace band, you will become the most dazzling dancer." β
"Uh-huh......" Sana replied with mixed feelings.
It's strange, it's clearly just a meeting in Pingshui, but after a short day of meeting, she is a little reluctant to see the man in front of her.
It's just that the identities of the two are very different, and the three views are very different, Su Ling is full of vicissitudes, and she is just an emotional fast food for this desert rose, she is just a poor ordinary person after all, it is impossible to get together with Su Ling, and it is already great luck to be able to reverse the trajectory of her life, and she can't ask for more.
Suona understood this, she hid her careful thoughts in her heart, and bowed deeply to Su Ling:
"Thank you."
After speaking, he stood on tiptoe, kissed Su Ling like a dragonfly on the face with a red face, and trotted away again:
"I won't forget you, never."
In Zeta, it's almost a blatant show of affection.
Su Ling touched his face, still with a slight residual warmth, only smiled bitterly, and did not dare to reply to the other party.
He is not an innocent virgin before, and with such a simple girl's mind, he can guess more or less.
It's just that there are some things that can't be forced, and he still has a lot of things to do after that, all of which are dangerous, and it's impossible to bring a vase to hinder himself.
Dew love, after this goodbye may never see each other, it's better not to have sideways.
Seeing that he didn't respond, she wasn't disappointed, she just smiled faintly, turned her head to the old Kaleu, who was standing silently and listening, and said, "Abba, let's go." β
The wrinkles on the face of the old profiteer were as dense as the pages of a book, and when he laughed, an old yellow flower seemed to bloom on his face:
"Let's go, like flowers, let's go, get out of here."
Kaleu followed her daughter and got on the special train arranged by Mino under the gaze of Su Ling, and several people said goodbye.
The lonely smoke and sunset, the yellow sand filled the sky, the train slowly drove to the west.
In that country where the sun is said to never set, there are loyal knights, romantic knights, and elegant women dancing in the sea of roses, and that is also the place where the girl thinks day and night, and that is the stage that belongs to her, instead of wasting her life in this desert and waiting for the flower-like elegance to wither.
Before parting, Sana gave her handkerchief to Su Ling.
It was made of silk, white, smooth and fine, and the craftsman had wasted his mind thinking that it was the most valuable jewelry on the girl's body, but she did not hesitate to give it to a man who had only seen him for a day.
Su Ling held the handkerchief, a little in a trance.
So much has happened in just one day, evolving from a fairy jump scam to what it is today.
No one expected that fate was so magical, connecting several seemingly unrelated people with wonderful clues.
On the train, the girl was still waving desperately at him, as if this would keep him.
The sunset of the desert reflected everything red, and Su Ling looked at her face being dyed burgundy, stunned for a moment, and wanted to respond, but the train had disappeared in the direction of the west in the blink of an eye.
β......β
Su Ling didn't say anything, put away his handkerchief, picked up his bag, wrapped Lingche around a strip of cloth, leaned against the window, and looked at the center of the desert.
Mino's sandcastle was very high, and he could see far away, and the queen's royal capital had already cast an outline under his eyes.
It was a vast and sacred city, and in the center of Zeta, a towering pyramid stood in the middle of the royal capital, and the mysterious Sphinx could be seen smiling from afar.
Ahead, ahead, the flowers on the side of the road are beautiful, and it is enough to enjoy the fragrance, but you can't stop there.
My Queen, what surprise have you in store for me, in this barren desert?
